plan

plan is a skill for Claude Code from Zate/cc-plugins. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,233 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a development topic into an actionable work plan. It explores the project, breaks the work into tasks, and supports quick plans or plans based on a GitHub issue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a short or detailed task breakdown, inspect an existing plan, archive a completed plan, or build a plan from a GitHub issue.
Why use it?
It helps make an unclear development request concrete before implementation begins.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

plan scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Devloop Plan

Create actionable plan from topic. Do the work directly.

Bash hygiene: prefer quiet flags to minimize output (npm install --silent, git status -sb, pipe long output through | tail -n 20).

Step 1: Parse Input

Extract topic from $ARGUMENTS. If missing, show usage: /devloop:plan <topic> [--deep|--quick|--from-issue N]. If --from-issue N: Fetch with gh issue view $N --json number,title,body,url. Use title as topic, body as context.

Step 2: Check Existing Plan (Silent)

If .devloop/plan.md exists:

  1. Count tasks (no file read needed):
    done=$(grep -cE "^\s*- \[x\]" .devloop/plan.md 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
    total=$(grep -cE "^\s*- \[[ x~!-]\]" .devloop/plan.md 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
    
  2. If done == total and total > 0: auto-archive silently:
    "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/archive-plan.sh" .devloop/plan.md --force
    
  3. If incomplete (done < total): prompt to archive (force) or cancel.
  4. If no plan file or total == 0: continue to Step 3.

Step 3: Route by Mode

If --quick: Fast Path

Use for bug fixes with known cause or small additions.

  1. Create todo list (2-4 tasks).
  2. If too complex, suggest removing --quick.
  3. Implement directly: Read (3-5 files), Write/Edit, test, summarize.
  4. STOP after completion.

If --deep: Comprehensive Exploration

Use for unclear requirements or architectural changes.

  1. Define Scope: Detect spike type (Tech decision, New feature, Risk, etc.).
  2. AskUserQuestion: User selects aspects (Feasibility, Scope, Risk, Dependencies, Approach, Effort, Impact).
  3. Research: Explore 8-10 files.
  4. Evaluate: Provide verdict per aspect (Confidence, Blockers, Size, Hours/Days).
  5. Write Report: Save to .devloop/spikes/{topic}.md.
  6. Display Summary: Show direct answer, recommendation, and findings.
  7. Proceed to Step 4.

Default Mode: Autonomous Planning (Steps 4-7)

Step 4: Context Detection (Silent)

Run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-devloop-state.sh. Detect tech stack and patterns from CLAUDE.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
